"A 6-Saki Sees the Sea" is an English children's story originating from Papua New Guinea, presented as part of the "English Animal Stories" series. The narrative follows Saki, a pig who lives in the mountains and has never encountered the ocean. The story details Saki's daily life, including his enjoyment of eating sweet potatoes from his garden, hunting in the mountains, and sleeping in mud. A pivotal moment occurs when Saki's Uncle Baki invites him to witness the ocean and its inhabitants. Saki's excitement leads him to travel by PMV to his uncle's location. Upon arriving, Saki experiences the ocean for the first time, with his eyes widening and his heart racing. He explores the beach with his uncle, swims in the water, observes various fish, and even spots an octopus. This excursion becomes Saki's most cherished holiday. The story concludes with Saki and his uncle singing a song about the sea, emphasizing its beauty and vastness. The book's creation involved participants from a Workshop for the Deaf and Blind, with line art by Michael Harrar and colored illustrations by Gweni Hetzel. The eBook layout was completed by SIL-Education for Life, and it is also available as a 'Talking Book' transferable to phones and tablets via www.mytalkingbooks.org.
